Big problem fetching members from dynamically loaded module

[Philippe C. Martin]

OK Peter, first of all thanks.

You seem to be German and although I leave in the states, I'm French and
your english is clearly far more advanced than mine: I have yet to
understand a few of your comments ;-)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SC_Shell.py", line 1095, in ?
    l_d = SC_Shell()
  File "SC_Shell.py", line 326, in __init__
    self.__Make_Menu_Area()
  File "SC_Shell.py", line 828, in __Make_Menu_Area
    l = inspect.getmembers(eval(c))
  File "<string>", line 0, in ?
NameError: name 'BC' is not defined

just import inspect


and after that .... QUID ?

Thanks and regards,

Philippe
